NEW AT FIVE.
THE LEE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS BECOMING A MODEL FOR OTHER DISTRICTS IN THE AREA AND AROUND THE STATE.
N-B-C TWO'S KIM BROWN FOUND OUT HOW VIRTUAL SCHOOLS ARE GIVING PARENTS AND STUDENTS ANOTHER OPTION FOR LEARNING.
Return to index of stories...
INSIDE THE LEE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS.
NATS
40 SCHOOL DISTRICTS FROM FLORIDA MEET TO TALK ABOUT VIRTUAL EDUCATION.
We're showing off our program as well as sharing our best practices from our teachers and administrators with other teachers and administrators from all over the state.
SOME DISTRICT'S PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN AROUND LONGER - LIKE LEE COUNTY'S.
IT BEGAN IN 2009.
PRINCIPAL AL SHILLING SAYS THERE ARE MORE THAN 250 STUDENTS ENROLLED, AND GROWING.
In virtual school, teachers and students communicate online, sometimes face-to-face. And because it's convenient, it's so popular and successful, now other school districts around the state are looking to model their program like Lee County.
THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ONE OF THEM.
TARA WHISENANT LEADS THE TEAM FOR THE VIRTUAL PROGRAM THERE AND SAYS SHE OFTEN LOOKS TO LEE COUNTY FOR ADVICE.
We're much smaller than Lee County. So, I try to take what Al's doing and fit it to meet the needs of a smaller county.
SINCE CHARLOTTE COUNTY'S PROGRAM IS IN IT'S FIRST YEAR, FULL TIME.
WHISENANT IS HERE TODAY CHECKING OUT THE LATEST IN LEARNING TRENDS.
Everybody's eager to help and were lucky because we're close in proximity.
CLOSE PROXIMITY IS ALSO WHY COLLIER COUNTY IS CONSIDERING MAKING IT'S SCHOOL SIMILAR TO LEE'S.
OR PARTNERING WITH LEE COUNTY TO OFFER SOME CLASSES.
NATS
LEE VIRTUAL IS ALSO CONSIDERED AN 'A' SCHOOL.
AND ADMINISTRATORS SAY OFFERING A SIMILAR PROGRAM TO THE COUNTY MAKES SENSE BECAUSE STUDENTS IN THE THREE COUNTY REGION FACE SIMILAR CHALLENGES.
The stakes are significantly higher in virtual school because our funding is entirely dependent on student success.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
SUNSHINE TO RETURN
Clouds were in abundance for us on Friday. The skies had a dreary look, yes, but the sunshine will soon return!
The big question… Will it return this weekend? Well, let me take you through the changes and let you know.
We have two systems at play in our local weather pattern. First, high pressure is nudging into the state, and it's bringing low level clouds from the Atlantic to the area. Next is a piece of energy in the upper portions of the atmosphere that made its way over from Texas. It's also giving us added clouds, but they're in the high variety.
So we have clouds coming in from both the east and west. Thankfully, the system that came from Texas will move out by tomorrow afternoon, and guess what that means?
The sun is back!
Thus, we're going to call Saturday, Sunday, and Monday partly sunny. Morning lows will be around 60, and daytime highs - get ready - warming up to the lower if not mid 80s! Not only do we get the sun in full force, we get a warming trend, too.
But that's why we live in Florida, right?
As we go into Tuesday we'll see the clouds increase due to another cold front approaching. However, it's going to become disorganized and fall apart as it gets closer. That's been the trend so far this season, fronts completely dying before reach the region. This means no cold air and no rainfall.
Clouds? Yes, but only for Tuesday and Wednesday. After midweek the sun is back with a vengeance, and the warm temperatures continue.
Boaters use caution if you go out as winds will be coming from the E-NE at 15 to 20 knots.
